Go! Motion

Go! Motion is our next-generation motion detector that connects directly to a computer's USB port—eliminating the need for an additional data-collection interface.

Make Science a Visual Adventure
Students learn experientially as they graph the motion of a ball, a cart on a ramp, pendulum motion, or themselves. The new Go! Motion is easy to use, allowing students to focus on learning scientific concepts instead of setting up the lab.

Cover All the Bases
Go! Motion's head pivots to match the needs of your lab. Flip the head halfway for monitoring the motion of a cart on a track. Or flip the 180° to record motion data from a tripod.

Get a Clear Signal
Go! Motion features reduced noise and automatic temperature compensation to ensure motion readings are continuously accurate.

Adjustable Sensitivity
The sensitivity switch lets you customize settings to your experiment.

Get Closer
Measure motion data as close as 15 cm and as far away as 6 m!

Multiple Connection Options
Go! Motion can be used with Windows and Macintosh computers through the USB port. It can also be used with the LabPro, CBL 2, or TI graphing calculators (additional cable required). Go! Motion excels in both the science and math classrooms!

Attach to a Track Easily
Use the metal screw mount to attach the Go! Motion to a track, such as the Vernier Dynamics System, for studies of velocity and acceleration.

Free Bundled Software
Go! Motion comes bundled with our Logger Lite™ data-collection software so you can see data graphed in real time, examine data point by point, annotate different experiment runs, and more! Want to synchronize motion data with video? You'll want Logger Pro.
